There are two obvious limits:
- this may be true in the long run, this does not mean people will magically adapt in one day. Luddites were skilled workers whose jobs were replaced by much less skilled jobs because of mechanisation.
- People work much, much less than in the past: working hours for those who work were almost cut in half in 150 years [0], and there are relatively way less people who work (much longer studies, much longer retirement than a century ago) - if you count time spent on domestic work.
